Maine Wilderness Oasis: Swimming, Hiking, Fishing, Boating

Take it easy at this unique getaway. Spend your days hiking the backyard trails (25 acres behind the house!), swimming or paddle boarding on the lake with a private dock (lake is a 2 minute walk down the driveway!), or traveling to near by coastal towns like Bar Harbor (Bucksport was voted #1 small coastal town in USA!). For dinner, stop by one of the lobster shacks just down the road to bring home your fresh Maine lobster! Come and disconnect (or stay connected if you’re working remotely!).

Family weekend

We stayed here with our 1.5 year old and dog for a summer weekend. The location was good for visits to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The property was very spacious and private for our family. The place was well stocked with baby gear. We felt like the water access was overstated on the listing, it is across the street and down an overgrown path to a small dock between two backyard properties. We were expecting more of a private accessible area based on the listing. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Nice secluded area!

The communication was great once we were there. Poor communication leading up to our arrival. The dock and lake are across the street, not on the property. We were there to hike in Acadia and visit Bar Harbor. Both were about an hour away.

Great place to experience Maine

Great Place

The house was wonderful and the view is great. It is centrally located for the places that we wanted to visit, Bangor, Ellsworth, Belfast, Arcadia, etc. We had a wonderful visit and the host is wonderful and answers you back very quickly. I would definitely stay again.

Great Spot

Just got back from one week here. Really nice and comfortable house (and well quipped) in a great location if you want to be away from the crowds. Had a lot of fun on the lake, hiking the property, and day trips to Acadia. Acadia took us about an hour or so to get to, but well worth staying here- it’s a beautiful drive anyway. I think our dogs had more fun then we did- the property is perfect for dogs. Thank you and hope to be back!!

Amazing!

Our stay was too short, but very sweet. The house is a bit from Arcadia National Park, if that's your destination, but it was still worth it. The house is very clean and well equipped. The highlight is the lake! Great for kayaking and fishing. The road is a little close to the house and the hiking trail isn't well maintained, otherwise super stay!!

Wonderful getaway on Long Pond

We were overjoyed with the property - it was exactly as described on the Vrbo website and scrupulously clean. We loved the proximity to the lake and all the wonderful amenities at the dock area - paddleboat, paddleboard, kayaks, paddles, lifejackets, seating, waste receptacles! It was amazing and the lake was not crowded. We visited Fort Knox nearby and spent great times in Bangor, Acadia National Park, and Bar Harbor. We were so happy to bring our dog with us and she was welcomed almost everywhere. We were very happy with our choice of rental home.

A wonderful Oasis!!

Our family had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable! The owner provides a lot of the things that make it feel like home and is quick to answer any and all questions. Being that we have young children, it can be difficult to remember everything, but the owner provided a lots of the things you need for little. We were so thankful to have found such an amazing house. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Maine Getaway

This was the perfect Maine getaway that my family and I were hoping for. We visited Arcadia National Park and did several hikes and sight seeing activities. On our rainy day, we visited Bangor where we did an escape room adventure followed by a wonderful dinner together at the Timber Kitchen and Bar. Thank you Chauncey for being such a wonderful and thoughtful host. We enjoyed our stay and made some new family memories. PS, For the cheesecake lovers out there, a little detour out to MoMo’s cheesecake in Ellsworth… totally worth it!!!

could not say more about our experience

The owners of this rental in Bucksport, although new with minimal reviews, were very respondent to any questions" emails" that I had sent. I need to say that my questions were few. The premises is tastefully decorated with all the amenities that a family would expect. I am highly recommending this rental for this region of Maine. Jeff ( vacationer from CT)

Cozy cabin in the woods.

We enjoyed our stay in the Cabin, loved the kitchen it was beautiful. We experienced a power outage while we were there (caused by a car wreck on the highway). I highly recommend adding some candles and flashlights to the property for situations like this. (we used the phone flashlight until they went dead). Thank you for allowing us to rent your cabin, we will use again if in the area. Sorry we didn't sign your guest book, with the power outage we had a lot to do in a short time having to get ready, and pack in the morning.

Cabin with a backwoods atmosphere

If you are looking to relax outdoors, this place would not be of interest. It only seats 3 comfortably on the small deck, and the fire pit in the back has no seating and is surrounded by weeds. The trek to the lake is a little tricky, watch your footing, The inside is very nice and clean with an amazing kitchen. It doesn't have central air just a window unit in the master bedroom, albeit we were pretty comfortable. Overall it was a nice spacious private cabin with an hour drive to Acadia that needs some manicuring and updates outside. Our host Chausey was fabulous, responding to all of our concerns immediately.

Beautiful location, with a FABULOUS host!

The property is outstanding, the house has a great layout, and the hosts had everything you could possibly need available. They even had things like a portable high chair and pack n play available for anyone who might travel with little guests and a little dog bed and dog dishes for anyone with a smaller dog. It was our first time at a VRBO and it was a seamless and amazing stay. The hiking trails on the property were great, and I had lots of chances for great sunrise photos in the woods. The location was close enough to civilization we could adventure out, but far enough away to feel like a true escape. There is so much to do in the area in nearby Bangor and Bucksport. 1A Collectibles and Schoolhouse Antiques, as well as the great small shops all over downtown Bangor and Steven King's original property are great tourist stops. The parks and hiking in nearby Sandy Point park and Ft Knox Observatory and Bridge were phenomenal. I will make one note for anyone looking at the pictures online, there is a single photo that VRBO has listed as a living room view, that is actually a photo from the nearby Ft Knox Observatory. Although the water is not super visible via the pine trees it is easily accessible with a super short walk, and it was nice to have a little seclusion. There are even a couple smaller waterfalls and creeks right on the property, which my son unearthed in the grasses while exploring near the hiking trails! Wonderful trip, 10/10!
